Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonate plastics are used in
certain food and drink packaging such as baby bottles, water bottles, and other drink containers. People
are exposed to BPA when they drink from these containers because the BPA migrates from the container
into the beverage. Studies have shown that the ingested BPA may affect the brain, behavior, and
reproductive development in fetuses, infants, and children
